Wednesday Links

Here in the day named after the leader of the Norse deities are some things going on:








From El País, former U.S. President Obama visits Seville.  (The article does not mention if he got to meet the barber.)




From ANSA, the son of Italy's economy minister is on a sailboat supporting the activities of migrant rescue ship.  (This is not the same ship as in the Malta Independent story.)



From the NL Times, a man from the Hague is arrested at Schiphol Airport for fighting in the Syrian civil war.  (Dutch law does not make any distinction about which side anyone fights for.)

From Dutch News, the Dutch government can't agree on how to implement a carbon tax.  (Like other countries, either they or the media reporting on them can't say the word "dioxide".)


From Radio Poland, Poland and Lithuania reinforce the corridor which connects them.  (A few centuries ago, Poland and Lithuania were the same country.)







From Ekathimerini, the Church of Greece is concerned about a request to use the Macedonian language in its services.  (Although the former Yugoslav country north of Greece has changed its name to "North Macedonia", their language is still called "Macedonian".)








From Turkish Minute, a former municipal employee unseats the mayor who demoted her.  (What is the Turkish word for "revenge"?)


















From Snouts in the Trough, do you have "John Snow Syndrome"?







From The Washington Free Beacon, President Trump is helping NATO become viable again.





From The American Conservative, how sanctions don't work.


From CNBC, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said "all lives matter" in 2015.  (Such a remark states an obvious truth, but did not sit well with the "black lives matter" crowd.  The story comes via The Daily Caller.)
